Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-884:
---------------------------------

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html

 When a Java Virtual Machine starts up, there is usually a single non-daemon 
thread (which typically calls the method named main of some designated class). 
The Java Virtual Machine continues to execute threads until either of the 
following occurs:

    * The exit method of class Runtime has been called and the security manager 
has permitted the exit operation to take place.
    * All threads that are not daemon threads have died, either by returning 
from the call to the run method or by throwing an exception that propagates 
beyond the run method. 

> Metastore Server should exit if error happens
